- W2040593034 abstract "Randolph Vigne has assembled these 223 South African letters of Thomas Pringle from archives, libraries and private collections in South Africa, Great Britain and Canada. The first few letters were written from Edinburgh, where Pringle was preparing to leave for Cape, last few from London, where, after passage of Emancipation Act, Pringle was expecting to return to South Africa. The last letter is dated 17th November 1834. Pringle died on 5th December and collection closes with his Last Will and Testament. The poet and abolitionist was an active correspondent: he writes from Deptford, Cape Town, Bavians River (Pringle's spelling, later Teviotdale), Graaff-Reinet, Grahamstown, Theopolis, Uitenhage and many other places visited in his criss-crossing of Cape. The sequencing and division of letters follow Pringle's career: from settlement of his family on frontier, through success and disappointment of Cape Town and clash with Somerset, to turning-point, probably a meeting with Andries Stockenstrom and Dr. John Phillip, which led Pringle to final calling with which he would leave colony: the general cause of liberty, and last years of abolitionist activity in London. Randolph Vigne, who has done Pringle proud - transcriptions, notes and introduction are excellent - is, I understand, working on a biography of Pringle, which we can now look forward to as a fitting culmination of work begun by Patricia Morris's account of life. In his work on these letters Randolph Vigne has already brought readers closer to distinctive personality of Pringle and to complex ways in which he was implicated in history and politics of his time. Liberalism is a contested order in South Africa today but Pringle's struggle for press freedom has a continuing relevance." @default.
